Consumer Studies

At Velangaye Secondary School, our Consumer Studies program is designed to equip learners with essential life skills and knowledge to navigate the modern world confidently. This subject focuses on empowering students to make informed decisions as consumers, entrepreneurs, and future leaders in their communities. Through a balance of theory and practical work, learners gain hands-on experience in areas such as food preparation, nutrition, clothing and textiles, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and responsible resource management. These skills are not only vital for personal development but also open pathways to careers in hospitality, tourism, business, retail, and related industries. In our rural setting, Consumer Studies plays a vital role in community development by teaching sustainable practices and inspiring innovative thinking. Learners are encouraged to create solutions that can uplift their households and contribute to local economic growth. With dedicated educators and well-structured learning activities, our goal is to prepare learners to excel at universities and colleges, thrive in the workplace, or even start their own businesses. At Velangaye, we believe that Consumer Studies is more than a subject it is a tool for empowerment, independence, and transformation.
